Elliot Page Attends TIFF 2023 to Premiere His First Movie in Six Years

Elliot Page is back on the red carpet for his film career!

The 36-year-old actor attended the premiere of his movie Close to You, his first feature film in six years, at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday (September 10) in Toronto, Canada.

In Close to You, “Sam (Page) hasn’t been home since his transition, and after four years in Toronto, he takes a long-dreaded trip back to Cobourg for his father’s birthday. On the train there, he runs into Katherine (Hillary Baack), a friend from high school with her own complicated life now, and feelings from their unresolved past begin to bubble to the surface.

Elliot was joined at the premiere by Hillary and their director Dominic Savage.

In a new interview, Elliot talked about returning to the big screen and doing a movie that had very little dialogue in the script and was mostly improvised.

“This was absolutely thrilling every single day. Because of the process, I’ve never done anything like this before. The script has a description and just that. There’s zero dialogue. You’re walking into every scene totally bare. I found it incredibly intimidating leading up to the shoot. I was like, ‘I’m going to be such a disappointment to Dominic. What am I doing? I can’t improvise!’ Our longest take was 53 minutes. It’s like a dance. You’re really existing in it. It had me tired in moments but incredibly exhilarated,” Elliot told Variety.

Elliot recently talked about a role he turned down.
